I just received your book a few days ago and read about the blue gray pencil on the train to work yesterday and purchased it at lunchtime. (I am lucky to have Dick Blick Art Supplies 3 blocks from work.) So I was thrilled to see you demonstrate it. You make it look so easy. Great and inspiring video! Thank you.

Love the video, Kate! :D Thank you for the wonderful tips! I got some watersoluble graphite pencils. Have you tried them already?I have one pencil from Stabilo named Stabilo All (that writes in paper, glass, plastic and metal) and is "aquarellable" and also a Cretacolor Marino, a graphite aquarell pencil. Everytime I use them I think of you. :D

Will try to use this technique more. :)Thanks, Kate! I'm a big fan of your artwork. <3
